This page contains requirements for all of the staff ranks.
For info on these ranks, visit the Ranks info page.

You must be at least 14 years of age for ANY and ALL positions, except helper.
If it's found that you lie(d) about your age on a staff application, this will result in an instant demotion back to your rank before applying.

Helper

Helpers will handle the small infractions more than the big ones, since helpers have limited permissions.

Requirements:

You are at least 13 years old.

You know how most of the commands we use work.

You are at least builder rank or higher.

You help players in game with problems.

You will secure your account with a password, using login security.

You will be active on the server and Discord.*

* You don't need to be as active as Moderators, but you need to be more active than a casual player

Moderator

Moderators handle pretty much all the things that need to be done in game.
Before getting this rank you will be Mod in Training which is essentially the same, but you will be helped during your job by other staff members.

Requirements:

You are trustworthy.

You are fair.

You will secure your account with a password, using login security.

You are builder rank or higher.

You are mature.

You are willing to learn what the installed plugins are used for and what their commands are (and the permissions)*.

You help players in game with any problems.

You will be active on the server, on the forums, and on Discord.

If you feel you fit these requirements, then feel free to create a staff application on the forums.

* You don't need to know all commands, but you should have the knowledge of what each plugin is capable of and be able to ask for help or Google anything you are unsure about.

Developer

Developers are all about writing, testing, and fixing plugins, whether it is our own or external plugins. This is an additional rank (badge) rather than a full rank.

Requirements:

You will secure your account with a password, using login security.

You are builder rank or higher.

You are mature.

You are willing to learn what the installed plugins are and what their capabilities are.

You are familiar with Git.

You have a GitHub account.

You will be active on the forums, GitHub, and on Discord.

You inform yourself about MC / Spigot / Plugin news.

You know Java.

You are familiar with the Bukkit/Spigot API, as well as our own custom APIs.

Nice to have: basic MySQL skills.

If you feel you fit these requirements, then feel free to create a staff application on the forums.

Administrator

Being an admin is not just a fancy color on your name. Admins are primarily working to keep the backend infrastructure that runs Redstoner running smoothly. They deploy updates, whether it is simple system packages or fresh modules from the development team, and also respond to any unexpected issues that arise.

Requirements:

All of the requirements listed for Developer role.

You have been a Moderator for 3 months or longer.

You have good knowledge of Linux*.

You can tweak config files.

You can find the cause of and handle issues.

You are familiar with Docker and able to create and manage containers.

* Good knowledge of Linux doesn't mean you must be a guru of the Linux internals, but you should have some first-hand experience working with it.

If you feel you fit these requirements, then feel free to create a staff application on the forums.
